His Discuss Throw Kept Him In
Limelight In Akron.
It was the privilege of several
North Canton students to participate
in a district track and field meet on
Saturday, May 15, at the Goodyear
athletic field in Akron.
There were approximately thirty
schools entered in the contest. They
were divided according to size into
classes A. and B. The forenoon was
given over to elimination contests, the
finals being reserved for the afternoon. The boys of North Canton made
a good showing, John Swope taking
a place in the discus throw.
An interesting fact in relation to
the entire meet-was that all of the
boys from Stark county were working
together. It tended to create a spirit
of fellowship and harmony between
them that will in time, if such meets
are to continue, create a better type

THE COMMUNITY
CHRISTIAN CHURCH -
[By the Pastor]
We have planned a service for Sunday morning in honor of our graduates from the North Canton high
school. We have invited these graduates to attend in a body. A token
of the day will be given each and the
sermon will be appropriate to the occasion.
The commencement week is one of
the special weeks of the year. Education is a great part of our community life and young people who go
through the school years and are
graduated should receive every encouragement and our heartiest congratulations. Certainly the Churcfi"
should be one of the first to extend
the hand of congratulation and give
every encouragement. A male quartet from Canton will sing the first
special number in honor of the day,
and it is hoped that the membership
of the church and friends will enter
heartily into the spirit of the occasion.
The sermon subject is not announced yet, but your minister has
it in mind to do something lie has not
done in the nearly four years he has
served the church.
The night program is already announced, the baccalaureate service at
the Community Building.
The Sunday-school received the new
and changed program with applause.
The attendance was good and all entered into the spirit pf the hour. This
change will continue and we can ex*-
pect good opening programs right
along.
The women have planned to give
the church a thorough cleaning this
Thursday. All the women of the
church are invited to aid in this
wholesome program.
We had a pleasant visit with the
Rev. M. M. Van Tassell of Camden,
New York, on Monday. Mr. Van Tassell visited North Canton in-the interest of the Community Church
Workers' organization. We were impressed with the spirit and nature of
the Community Church program- as
compared with that of the ordinary
church. The Community Church seeks
to unite the community in a community .program and get the spirit of
Jesus into the community rather than,
be content to get people into the
church without the spirit in the community.
o
ZION REFORMED CHURCH
[By the Pastor]
Last Sunday was Education Sunday
for Reformed churches. We made account of it, at least so far as to have
for our theme an Educational subject. The pastor spoke on "Our Educational Responsibility." Very appropriately there followed the showing of the work of our Week-Day
School of Religion in the Christian
Church, under the direction of Mrs.
Rea. Again the fine weather lured
away some of our members, but even
at that we had present 528 in the
Sunday-school and an auditorium full
atv the morning service.
' We had a pleasant and profitable
meeting of East Ohio Classis in Grace
Reformed Church, Columbiana, O., of
which Dr. E. F. Wiest is pastor.
Some items of our annual report to
Classis might be of interest to some
at least. That report showed a communicant membership of 508, the enrollment of our Sunday-school, including cradle roll and home department,
was 717. Our average Sunday-school
attendance for the year was 429. Our
benevolent giving amounted to $5340;
our congregational expense $5,976.
The amount apportioned to us as
Classical Benevolence is $2,255.50. We
enter upon our new task for another
Classical year with faith and an
abounding hope. The Lord has been
good to us, and we are happy.
Next Wednesday evening at 7:30
o'clock our Consistory meets. Let tlw
members of that body note, and arrange to be present.
Next Sunday is Pentecost, which
commemorates the outpouring of the
Holy. Spirit on the apostolic Church.
A sermon theme, appropriate to that
great event, will be. used. In the
evening we join in the baccalaureate
service, which will be held- in the-
.Community Building.

will meet as usual at 6:30 o'clock Sim-

WILL GO TO COURT
OYER DEATH OF MAN
MAY VISIT EXPOSITION
North Canton Officials Refuse
To Accept Terms Offered By
r
the Administrator of the Estate of Charles F. Hill.
CASE IS SIX YEARS OLD
North Canton has a law suit on its
hands. On Monday night the members of Council decided to fight in
court the demand of Charles A. Hill,
administrator of the estate of Charles
F. Hill, deceased, Akron, that he be
paid for the death of the said Charles
F. Hill.
The accident occurred on April 30,
1920, when the Hills were on their
way to a funeral. The plaintiff asserts that the street bulged near the
village limits and as a result the big
automobile swerved, struck the curb,
broke a wheel, and caused the death
of Mr. Hill, aged about 60 years.
Wanted $20,000 At First
Amerman & Mills, attorneys of
Canton, filed a suit for $20,000 several years ago, but the case has never
come to trial. It is said the administrator is willing to compromise for
a much smaller ram, but the officials
of North Canton are of the opinion
that it was owing to the negligence
of the driver of the car that the
tragedy happened, and so Albert B.
Arbaugh, the village solicitor, was
instructed to fight the case.
Levi A. Stoner Interested In What the
World Is Doing.
COMMUNITY CHEST
Chairman Evans Expects Town To
Go Over the Top On Friday,
The Community Chest, drive was
opened in North I Canton on Tuesd'iy
and it is expected it will be over by
Thursday or Friday.
The securing of solicitors has been
a little slow this year and in consequence the subscription is not up to
the. usual amount at this time.
The chairman, W. J. Evans, says,
however, that at the close North Canton will be over the top as usual.
FRANCES eTwILLARD
Her Picture Now Adorns the Wall of
Council Chamber.
Levi A. Stoner, widely known North
Canton man, whose letters in The Sun
have attracted considerable attention,
may visit the Sesquicentennial International Exposition in Philadelphia
this summer. There are a number of
eastern Pennsylvanians around this
section of Ohio, and the Exposition
will give them a chance to stop in
Lancaster county and other places for
a visit with the friends of their youth.
As he "stated in The Sun, Mr.
Stoner was in attendance at the Centennial in 1870, and he is enthusiastic'
over the Sequi. He received a letter
last week from Odell Hauser, director
of the department of publicity, who
said, in answer to Mr. Stoner's question, that "there will be a register to
be signed by all who attend the Centennial this year." Continuing, Mr.
Hauser wrote:
"I am glad you enjoy reading the
history sketches in The Sun. They are
so popular that more than 600 leading newspapers in the United States
are running them regularly. The cooperation of Ben. J. Long of The Sun,
a former Philadelphia editor, is very
much appreciated by the Centennial
officials, of which Mayor Hendrick is
president."
Mr. Hauser directed that a handsome illustrated book of early and
present day scenes in Philadelphia be
sent to Mr. Stoner as a mark of appreciation of the interest he is showing in the Centennial.
[The history sketches are read
from The Sun each week in many of
the public schools in Stark county.
Superintendent Denton of the North
Canton schools and the Rev. Ralph
C. Kotheimer, superintendent of St.
Paul's school, were among the first
to see the value of the sketches.]

McCLINTOCK THE SPEAKER.
While Council was in session on
Monday night three ladies, Mrs. A.
C. Dyer, Mrs. A. R. Mechling and
Mrs.' John Shook, entered.. They had
come to present to the town a large
framed picture of Miss Frances E.
Willard, founder of the W. C. T. U.
and its president until her death.
Mrs. Dyer-made a neat little speech
in' which she said the women knew
that the officials of North Canton
stood for the enforcement of the laws,
and on behalf of the W. C. T. U;
she would like to present the picture
of Miss Willard.
Mayor Becher accepted the picture
on behalf of the town and thanked
the ladies for their generosity and
complimentary words.
Ed McCarty, village clerk, has
placed the picture on the wall of the
Council room. Nearby are the features of Washington, Lincoln and
Roosevelt, also a copy of the Declaration of Independence.
In the Mayor's office over his desk
is an excellent likeness of North Canton's first Mayor—a man we all love
—William ft. Hoover.

Improving In Health
• Mrs. Leo Braucher, who underwent
an operation for appendicitis in Mercy
hospital ' last' week, is improving
nicely. "" .' " - ' .
C. B. Albee, who has been confined
to his bed with erysipelas and. >i>eut
matism for several weeks, is able to
be around again.
Thursday, May 27, and Saturday,
May 29, the ladies of the American
Legion Auxiliary will sell the poppy,
the memorial flower of the American
Legion and the Legion Auxiliary. The
poppies are made by disabled World
War veterans, many of them blind
and so crippled that they are turned
over to a third man, who disability
permts him to put the finishing j
touches on them.
Looking back to the war-weary
legions of 1918, we are glad that the
world is slowly but surely beginning
to realize that mankind now sighs
earnestly for peace. It needs it. It
should be also true that increasing
wisdom, derived from the bitterest
experience in war that has ever befallen, the human race, should result
in some practicable means of averting future wars. This is surely to
be hoped.
It is our solemn duty, under the
shadowing wings of the presences
whom memory brings to our side today, to welcome and improve every
opportunity for putting an end to
war.
But never should we exalt the cause
of peace-to the point of undervaluing,
maligning or depreciating the services of the boys whom we sent to
France, or those who held themselves
ready and eager for the stern voyage
from whic]^ so many never returned.
Their service was high and holy—
their sacrifice ever to be honored.
As Mayor of North Canton I respectfully ask each resident to buy a
poppy when they are placed on sale
by the ladies of the American Legion
Auxiliary. It is a trifling amount, but
it will show the gallant, disabled men
in the hospitals and homes that we
still hold dear the memory of the sacrifices they made in our behalf.
Signed, LOGAN W. BECHER,
Mayor of North Canton.
May 18, 1926.
KEEP PARK CLEAN
Members of American Legion Post
No. 419 of North Canton, Guy Price,
commander, are completing plans for
the memorial exercises to be held
here arid nearby on Monday, May 3JL
The parade starts at 9 o'clock
when the World War men will go to
St. Paul's cemetery, decorate the
graves of all soldiers sleeping there
and pay the usual rights given to
men who have defended their country.
From there the former soldiers and
the fraternal and civic societies go to
Zion cemetery, and after decorating
the graves of comrades will listen to
a Memorial Day address by Prosecuting Attorney C. B. McClintock of
Canton. At thjs time the monument
erected by the people of North Canton
and its vicinity to the soldiers of the
Spanish-American War and the-
World War will be formally dedicated. It will be recalled that services
were held for the same purpose in
the Community Building late last year
owing to the inclement weather prevailing at that time.
Wants Everybody There
Commander Price in conversation
with a writer for The Sun said the
Legion men wanted to see everybody
in the cemeteries on Memorial Day,
and he expressed the hope that owners of automobiles would give a "lift1*
to any persons desiring to go to Zion
or leave it. Organizations not in previous parades ancl wishing to take
part this year should notify Guy-
Price, 623 McKinley avenue, or Arthur Kolp at the Haak & Kolp Bros,
garage on West Maple street not
later than Monday, May 24.
The Legion will furnish transportation for the surviving members ofr
the G. A. R.
Further details will be announced
in The Sun next week.
No
Refreshment Stands Allowed In
the Grove This Year.
Council on Monday night voted not
to permit any one to erect a refreshment stand in the grove of Witwer
park this summer. The stands must
be placed in the ball field. Tables
and benches in the eating pavilion
must not be removed from the building.
This action is necessary, it was explained, because after family reunions and festivals the park commissioner has a steady job picking up
pop bottles, caps, paper boxes and
other rubbish.
This new rule, it might be added
will be strictly enforced this summer.
o
Bake Sale
The ladies of the American Legion
Auxiliary will hold a bake sale in
Hummel's grocery; on Saturday," May
29. The. proceeds'will be used for
the benefit of disabled soldiers.
, Serving On Jury
Mrs. Frank C. Wise'.and Mrs.. Francis Barman-.are serving their third
week on the jury in Canton.
BUY A POPPY
Memorial Flower Will Be Placed Ore-
Sale May 27 and 29.
The ladies of the American Legion
Auxiliary in North Canton have received permission to go through the
big Hoover factory on Thursday, May
27, for the purpose of selling poppies
to the employes. "Selling the little-
red flower, made by a disabled World.
War veteran, isn't a hard job in tlie
factory," said a member of the Auxiliary to a writer for The Sun. "They
realize what the boys .did in France,
so it requires no 'sales.talk' to dispose cf the memorial flower."
On Saturday, May 29, the ladies.
will have the poppies ..for sale along-
the streets, and following their usual
custom they will sell hundreds. North .
Canton knows that the money,goes to
make life a little more comfortable
for the boys who never faltered when
called upon to defend this land, and
North Canton answers, "Sure I'll buy
a poppy; never mind about making?
change."
Mrs. Mae Brandt, of the Auxiliary,
is in charge of the sale.
BOARD OF MANAGERS

Affairs In Community Building.
The election for Board of Managers

JOHN SWOPE WON PLACE
His Discuss Throw Kept Him In
Limelight In Akron.
It was the privilege of several
North Canton students to participate
in a district track and field meet on
Saturday, May 15, at the Goodyear
athletic field in Akron.
There were approximately thirty
schools entered in the contest. They
were divided according to size into
classes A. and B. The forenoon was
given over to elimination contests, the
finals being reserved for the afternoon. The boys of North Canton made
a good showing, John Swope taking
a place in the discus throw.
An interesting fact in relation to
the entire meet-was that all of the
boys from Stark county were working
together. It tended to create a spirit
of fellowship and harmony between
them that will in time, if such meets
are to continue, create a better type

THE COMMUNITY
CHRISTIAN CHURCH -
[By the Pastor]
We have planned a service for Sunday morning in honor of our graduates from the North Canton high
school. We have invited these graduates to attend in a body. A token
of the day will be given each and the
sermon will be appropriate to the occasion.
The commencement week is one of
the special weeks of the year. Education is a great part of our community life and young people who go
through the school years and are
graduated should receive every encouragement and our heartiest congratulations. Certainly the Churcfi"
should be one of the first to extend
the hand of congratulation and give
every encouragement. A male quartet from Canton will sing the first
special number in honor of the day,
and it is hoped that the membership
of the church and friends will enter
heartily into the spirit of the occasion.
The sermon subject is not announced yet, but your minister has
it in mind to do something lie has not
done in the nearly four years he has
served the church.
The night program is already announced, the baccalaureate service at
the Community Building.
The Sunday-school received the new
and changed program with applause.
The attendance was good and all entered into the spirit pf the hour. This
change will continue and we can ex*-
pect good opening programs right
along.
The women have planned to give
the church a thorough cleaning this
Thursday. All the women of the
church are invited to aid in this
wholesome program.
We had a pleasant visit with the
Rev. M. M. Van Tassell of Camden,
New York, on Monday. Mr. Van Tassell visited North Canton in-the interest of the Community Church
Workers' organization. We were impressed with the spirit and nature of
the Community Church program- as
compared with that of the ordinary
church. The Community Church seeks
to unite the community in a community .program and get the spirit of
Jesus into the community rather than,
be content to get people into the
church without the spirit in the community.
o
ZION REFORMED CHURCH
[By the Pastor]
Last Sunday was Education Sunday
for Reformed churches. We made account of it, at least so far as to have
for our theme an Educational subject. The pastor spoke on "Our Educational Responsibility." Very appropriately there followed the showing of the work of our Week-Day
School of Religion in the Christian
Church, under the direction of Mrs.
Rea. Again the fine weather lured
away some of our members, but even
at that we had present 528 in the
Sunday-school and an auditorium full
atv the morning service.
' We had a pleasant and profitable
meeting of East Ohio Classis in Grace
Reformed Church, Columbiana, O., of
which Dr. E. F. Wiest is pastor.
Some items of our annual report to
Classis might be of interest to some
at least. That report showed a communicant membership of 508, the enrollment of our Sunday-school, including cradle roll and home department,
was 717. Our average Sunday-school
attendance for the year was 429. Our
benevolent giving amounted to $5340;
our congregational expense $5,976.
The amount apportioned to us as
Classical Benevolence is $2,255.50. We
enter upon our new task for another
Classical year with faith and an
abounding hope. The Lord has been
good to us, and we are happy.
Next Wednesday evening at 7:30
o'clock our Consistory meets. Let tlw
members of that body note, and arrange to be present.
Next Sunday is Pentecost, which
commemorates the outpouring of the
Holy. Spirit on the apostolic Church.
A sermon theme, appropriate to that
great event, will be. used. In the
evening we join in the baccalaureate
service, which will be held- in the-
.Community Building.
., The Christian. ■ Endeavor -society
will meet as usual at 6:30 o'clock Sim-
day evening... .
The pastor has,been asked to" give
the, address, at: the corner-sti>eut
matism for several weeks, is able to
be around again.
Thursday, May 27, and Saturday,
May 29, the ladies of the American
Legion Auxiliary will sell the poppy,
the memorial flower of the American
Legion and the Legion Auxiliary. The
poppies are made by disabled World
War veterans, many of them blind
and so crippled that they are turned
over to a third man, who disability
permts him to put the finishing j
touches on them.
Looking back to the war-weary
legions of 1918, we are glad that the
world is slowly but surely beginning
to realize that mankind now sighs
earnestly for peace. It needs it. It
should be also true that increasing
wisdom, derived from the bitterest
experience in war that has ever befallen, the human race, should result
in some practicable means of averting future wars. This is surely to
be hoped.
It is our solemn duty, under the
shadowing wings of the presences
whom memory brings to our side today, to welcome and improve every
opportunity for putting an end to
war.
But never should we exalt the cause
of peace-to the point of undervaluing,
maligning or depreciating the services of the boys whom we sent to
France, or those who held themselves
ready and eager for the stern voyage
from whic]^ so many never returned.
Their service was high and holy—
their sacrifice ever to be honored.
As Mayor of North Canton I respectfully ask each resident to buy a
poppy when they are placed on sale
by the ladies of the American Legion
Auxiliary. It is a trifling amount, but
it will show the gallant, disabled men
in the hospitals and homes that we
still hold dear the memory of the sacrifices they made in our behalf.
Signed, LOGAN W. BECHER,
Mayor of North Canton.
May 18, 1926.
KEEP PARK CLEAN
Members of American Legion Post
No. 419 of North Canton, Guy Price,
commander, are completing plans for
the memorial exercises to be held
here arid nearby on Monday, May 3JL
The parade starts at 9 o'clock
when the World War men will go to
St. Paul's cemetery, decorate the
graves of all soldiers sleeping there
and pay the usual rights given to
men who have defended their country.
From there the former soldiers and
the fraternal and civic societies go to
Zion cemetery, and after decorating
the graves of comrades will listen to
a Memorial Day address by Prosecuting Attorney C. B. McClintock of
Canton. At thjs time the monument
erected by the people of North Canton
and its vicinity to the soldiers of the
Spanish-American War and the-
World War will be formally dedicated. It will be recalled that services
were held for the same purpose in
the Community Building late last year
owing to the inclement weather prevailing at that time.
Wants Everybody There
Commander Price in conversation
with a writer for The Sun said the
Legion men wanted to see everybody
in the cemeteries on Memorial Day,
and he expressed the hope that owners of automobiles would give a "lift1*
to any persons desiring to go to Zion
or leave it. Organizations not in previous parades ancl wishing to take
part this year should notify Guy-
Price, 623 McKinley avenue, or Arthur Kolp at the Haak & Kolp Bros,
garage on West Maple street not
later than Monday, May 24.
The Legion will furnish transportation for the surviving members ofr
the G. A. R.
Further details will be announced
in The Sun next week.
No
Refreshment Stands Allowed In
the Grove This Year.
Council on Monday night voted not
to permit any one to erect a refreshment stand in the grove of Witwer
park this summer. The stands must
be placed in the ball field. Tables
and benches in the eating pavilion
must not be removed from the building.
This action is necessary, it was explained, because after family reunions and festivals the park commissioner has a steady job picking up
pop bottles, caps, paper boxes and
other rubbish.
This new rule, it might be added
will be strictly enforced this summer.
o
Bake Sale
The ladies of the American Legion
Auxiliary will hold a bake sale in
Hummel's grocery; on Saturday," May

the benefit of disabled soldiers.

week on the jury in Canton.
BUY A POPPY
Memorial Flower Will Be Placed Ore-
Sale May 27 and 29.
The ladies of the American Legion
Auxiliary in North Canton have received permission to go through the
big Hoover factory on Thursday, May
27, for the purpose of selling poppies
to the employes. "Selling the little-
red flower, made by a disabled World.
War veteran, isn't a hard job in tlie
factory," said a member of the Auxiliary to a writer for The Sun. "They
realize what the boys .did in France,
so it requires no 'sales.talk' to dispose cf the memorial flower."
On Saturday, May 29, the ladies.
will have the poppies ..for sale along-
the streets, and following their usual
custom they will sell hundreds. North .
Canton knows that the money,goes to
make life a little more comfortable
for the boys who never faltered when
called upon to defend this land, and
North Canton answers, "Sure I'll buy
a poppy; never mind about making?
change."
Mrs. Mae Brandt, of the Auxiliary,
is in charge of the sale.
BOARD OF MANAGERS
Three New Members To Look After-
Affairs In Community Building.
The election for Board of Managers
of the Community Building on Friday
resulted in the selection of three new-
members, namely, Gordon Curry, and
Frank Gross for the three-year term,
and Max" Messerly for the two-year
term.
Herman Voneman was re-elected
for the three-year term and Edwin
Warstler and E. P. Smith were reelected for the two-year term. The
vote cast was comparatively light.
The next organization meeting wifi
appoint the committee chairman.
